I am going to build it, just not sure what to do with it after that. Right now I am working on it, trying not to scratch anything, or trim anything too much.
I was thinking about measuring a few of the nylon items and making aluminum parts for my runner.
That buggy looks fantastic but I question your sanity. Did you start off with a new in the box kit? Kinda like taking $300 and throwing it in the trash because that's how much you just devalued your buggy.
I say go for it! Much more fun looking at a new built car than just pictures on a sealed box. I feel the same about people who have rare 1:1 cars with only 20 miles on them. whats the point if you cant enjoy them or at least touch them.
My thoughts on a NIB kit is that sure it's nice to build a kit but I thinks its better to preserve it NIB as a reference. there are plenty of new built examples that can tickle your fancy but very few NIB kits

This is a NIB kit, yes. A few years ago, I purchased 2 6012 kits and an RC12LW kit.
The 12LW has been built, and now this RC10. Both are going to be static displays.
That leaves just the one 6012 kit left.

I'm sure there's enough 'reference' kits out there, Shodog.....
Build looks great, Dir_wolf...... and will look very nice on display. Course, would look nice covered in mud and dirt too, but from a different perspective..... and that's what you have runners for, I imagine....

I just hope that Fred next door is not a VET from the Pacific theater. When he sees that rising sun glaring at him in the morning. He may run for the old M1 Garand and fire a few rounds...
HI!... Been at a stand still lately on some of my RC10 projects due to waiting for parts and the whitening process. So I decided to start restoring some of the wheels I have. Some might recognize some of them since I bought most from some of you and...
Got bored so thought id throw a car back together for this years season. Though with the shortage of white parts I am having second thoughts about actually using it.
I know this forum has chat room, but it seems relatively not used by most. Maybe many don't know how a chat room works, or really just don't want to enter a chat room.
So, how about a thread for bored people sitting around who want to talk about RC...
